Xpra - X Persistent Remote Applications

	Xpra (X Persistent Remote Applications) ... is a remote display solution for forwarding applications and desktop screens. Applications forwarded by Xpra appear on the local desktop as normal windows (seemless mode), rather than being all "trapped in a box together" (full desktop mode) like with VNC. Xpra uses a custom protocol that is self-tuning and relatively latency-insensitive, and thus is usable also over worse links. Xpra allows disconnection and reconnection without disrupting the forwarded application. Xpra is an open-source software for multiple platforms (Linux, Windows, MaxOS, etc.). ​http://www.xpra.org ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xpra Download: ​Linux (various distributions) ​MacOSX (>=10.5) ​Windows (>=XP)
